If you’re looking for the next totally delicious, meatless meal then this is it! Roasted chickpeas are the star of the show in this recipe. They’re lightly seasoned and then roasted until crispy. They are so good mixed with everything else in this Buddha Bowl.
This recipe comes from the book: Cooking for a Fast Metabolism by Haylie Pomroy. This book is based on Pomroy’s The Fast Metabolism Diet. It’s designed to kick your metabolism into high gear. This book shows you how you can eat more food to fuel your body for fat loss and still lose weight. No calorie counting, no fasting, no deprivation… just good, healthy food. I’m not on this diet, but I’m enjoying browsing through the more than 100 healthy recipes.
Here are a few recipes in the book that I’d like to try:
